OHIO REPUBLICAN,
Open the Campaign at Caldwell
Speech by Gov. Foraker.


Caldwell, Ohio, Sept. 10.-The open
ing of the campaign by the Republicans at
this place today brought out great throng
Of people. Governor Foraker delivered a
long address which was to q considerable
extent an answer to the speech of his com
petitor Mr.. Powell. He first alluded to
the matter of state finances, claiming that
mis- administration began with $9,0OO,OOO
less in the treasury than the preceding ad
ministration of Gov. Hoadley and yet by
proper management the present admins
tration has not only met all obligations,
nut has increased the revenue for
causing an increase Of the valuation
of property for taxation and has reduced
the annual interest charged by $S72, 900 he
referred to the election frauds during the
previous administration In Columbus and
Cincinnati, and to the election of Senator
Payne as showing the tendency Of that
administration to methods that were hurt
full TO the state and claimed that under this
administration some of the perpetrators Of
these frauds have been punished and cleo
ton laws have been passed which render
their repetition well nigh possible, contin-
uing in state affairs, he cited the establish
ment of soldiers and sailors home, as an
instance Of fair dealing with that deserving
class-the soldiers of the late war Re
ferring to Mr.. Powells suggestion that the
totn 90
had beens ORGANIZED with the purpose
of wreckiDg Gen. Sherman's presidential
train he said Mr. Powell ought to dismiss
all such fear so far as Ohio republicans are
concerned for, said he, Senator Sherman
has been put on sure train with free
pass in his own name and / do not know
of any one from the river to the lake who
wishes to take it from him. John Sher-
man has no such train wreckers to avoid as
Allen G. Thurman can give an account Of
he devoted considerable space to Presi-
dent Cleveland, but denied that he had
made any personal attack upon him. He
had to deal with his public accounts and
while 1t was not to be expected that Re
publicans would be pleased with the
Presidents course upon questions
on which the parties are
at issue, there were old matters
in which their past expectations have been
disappointed The Republicans did not
expect that President Cleveland would
make a false pretense of ignOaing the just
items of his party except in so far as they
could be recognized through the despicable
policy of removing only offensive partisans,
and that by adhering TO such course I'M
der the claim of civil service reform, he
would bring upon that worthy cause as he
had done an example. He claimed there
was still greater disappointment in the re-
vival of President Cleveland of the
animositieS of war which had al
most died out, In proof of which
he cited the application of the epithets
''tramps, paupers, pension grabbers' and
the like by politicians and political news
papers He charged that Cleveland was
responsible for this because his policy had
been to make it appear that there was
nothing very seriously wrong about seces-
sien and rebellion. He charged that the
course was mischievious, especially toward
the south as 1t had led those people to look
upon the acts of the loyal people of the
north, which are not In accord with the
president in this respect, as acts of
hostility toward the south. The peo-
pie of the south, he said, want truth,
and their appreciation will be greater for
those who mislead them about it. The
truth, he said, is that the people of the
north want entire peace and fraternity for
the whole land, and the people Of every
section on the basis of a complete recog
milton and acceptance of all the fruits and
results Of the war. Hence they cannot
consent to recognize any act that indicates
changed estimate of the ideas upon which
the confederacy was based, nor can they
listen TO harsh criticism of our soldiers or
the proposition to surrender in the way it
was proposed the rebel battle
flags. Great as is this country,
it has room for but one
flag, the stars and stripes The great duty
of the hour then. said he, is to put down
the man and party who have flung into our
faces these offensive and reasonable ideas.
Speaking of the tariff he made the asser-
ton that while there are many protection
lists in the Democratic party, yet the party
as such, had been and Is now essentially a
free trade party. He said that the issue
in Ohio as fixed by the platform was fairly
between protectionists and free trade. Re
ferring 10 Mr.. Powell's statement that the
Democratic party had never made a land
grant to railroad, he said the record
showed that between 1850 and 1861, dur
ing Democratic administrations, forty three
congressional grants TO railroads had been
made, aggregating 100000 acres Oh
about three fifths of all the lands that had
been granted to railroads. He then went
on at great length to argue IN favor Of
protection. saying bis object is 10 overcome
the inequality of conditions which arist
mainly from wages paid for labor. H,
claimed that the prosperity of this countr,
wss largely due to the protective policy.
